Re: Bau om. Road - Approximate 65 Acre Subdivision Mecklenburg Count' NC Na ionWide
Permit #26
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Mr. James Medall of Rhein Interests, I am pleased to provide you with the following
information concerning the this project for your consideration and approval under Nationwide Permits #26.
The proposed project is a single family subdivision.
$ kg mnd
The proposed use of the site is a single family subdivision in the north areas of Charlotte near University
Research Park. The wetland areas were delineated in March, 1997.
The extents of the Jurisdictional Waters of the United States are estimated to be:
Extents of Jurisdictional Waters
Tributaries - 5601f ±0.10 Acres
Wetland Areas (PFOIA) ±0.20 Acres
Pond =HW +0,83 Acres
Approximate Total - Waters of the U.S.
± 1.13 Acres

Mr. Steve Lund, Mr. John Dorney, July 17, 1997

Description
1) Wetland Hydroloav
Wetland hydrology is provided by flooding in the littoral zone, and seepage from the base of the dam.
2) Iivdr9 is Vegetation
Vegetation in wetland areas and along tributaries is dominated by Facultative, Facultative Wet, and Obligate
Vegetation and includes red maple, hornbeam, sweet gum, alder, green ash, boxelder, river birch, willow and
others. Shrub/scrub layer was dominated by ligustrum, spicebush, poison ivy, and smilax. Herbaceous plants
include sedges, soft rush, bulrush, jewel-weed and other typical wetland species.
3) Hydr_ Soil
Hydric soils are caused by saturation, ponding, and flooding and occur as inclusions within the Monacan
soils in wetland areas. According to Soil Conservation Service, Technical Guide-Section II-A-2, June 1991,
Mo (Monacan) soils are listed as Map Units with inclusions of Hydric Soils in Mecklenburg County. Other
hydric soils created by hydrological conditions such as flooding and a high or perched water table were
found.
Results of Preliminary Discussions with USA CE
The USACE had no objection to removing the small pond and seepage wetlands below the dam. Mitigation
is likely for impacts to existing streams.
Results of Prg(imm= Wetland Evaluation /NCDM Guidelines
Wetlands areas associated with the tributaries, and ponds have high value regarding water storage, pollution
removal, bank stabilization, and aquatic life utilizing Guidance for Rating the Values of Wetlands in North
Carolina - Fourth Version.
PROPOSED MRACTS
Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters on this site have been avoided and/or minimized to the extent feasible.
Tributaries - 3801f (intermittent and spillways) ±0.03 Acres
Pond - 0.85 MLMB I Related Seepage Wetland Areas -0.20 fPFOIA) +1.05 ergs
Approximate Total - Waters of the U.S. ±1.08 Acres
PROPOSED MIN3IIZA3 jM AN]„]VMGATION
Avoidance and Aftimizalion
Best Management Practices will be employed to minimize additional impacts downstream BMP's will
include:
- Siltation Barriers
- Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
- Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
- Preconstruction meetings
- Other methods as appropriate
Mr. Steve Lund, Mr. John Dorney, July 17, 1997
Page 3
Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and natural
areas to be preserved. Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained
during construction of the project. Wetlands to be preserved will be clearly marked prior to construction to
prevent accidental damage to wetlands. The contractors will be held responsible for unauthorized wetland
damage not permitted according to plans and specifications. Preconstruction meetings shall be held if
necessary with representatives of the USACE and the NCDWQ as required.
Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat,
however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid recovery. Project construction will
strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control
structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life
such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface waters. Also, as
required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh
concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
PEMSED NMGATION
The developer is proposing to create approximately 380 If of stream habitat along property lot lines that will
connect the remaining stream on the site to the existing stream off-site in lieu of piping. The only piping
that is required will be for the road crossing. The intention is to employ many of the techniques that
incorporates bio-engineering methodology including influencing the flow in the channel to minimize bank
erosion, bank stabilization and enhancement, and/or restoration of plant and aquatic habitat. These may
include rock step pools, rip-rap jointing, live staking, etc. Vegetation will include silky dogwood, black
willow, tag alder, spicebush, arrowood, elderberry, etc. A temporary seeding mixture consisting of annual
grasses will be installed for stabilization and erosion control before a suitable permanent grass mixture is
developed for installation. A warm season mixture would be most suitable for dominance. These species may
include Indian Grass, Little Bluestem, Switch Grass, and Lehmans lovegrass. Turf grasses such as fescue and
Bermuda will not be specified. Live staking materials will be selected from the attached list.
THREATENED AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified one endangered species -
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) that could be present on this site. Schweinitz's sunflower
thrives in full sun characteristic of successional fields, margins, and forested openings. Based on a site review
with a representative of the Habitat Assessment and Restoration Program (HARP - Dr. James Matthews and
John T. Soule, Schweinitz's sunflower or it's habitat was not identified on this site.
The Carolina heelsplitter, also an endangered species, is a freshwater mussel which prefers shaded areas
either in a ponded portion of a small stream or in runs along steep banks with moderate current. Primary
habitat are waters less than three feet deep with a soft mud, muddy sand, or shady gravelly substrate. It is
normally restricted to protected silted areas or under banks especially associated with obstructions such as
stumps or fallen trees. Its current distribution according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service is limited to
portions of two streams -- Goose Creek and Waxhaw Creek -- and a small river originating from rural areas
in Union County. Therefore it is not expected to occur on this site.
Mr. Steve Lund, Mr. John Dorney, July 17, 1997

CULMMAL RESOURCES
The site is former agricultural land. Pockets of forested areas of the site are in secondary succession. No
previously identified sites appear on USGS maps at the Office of State Archaeology and Survey and
Planning Office.
AQUATIC HABITAT
Strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be maintained during the
construction period in order to control degradation of water quality downstream and protect the areas to be
preserved. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be
avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface waters. Also, as required by the 401
Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from
coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
PROTECTION FROM FUTURE DEUWPMENT
The created stream will be protected from future impacts by the applicant or by a group designated by the
applicant for this purpose.
CONCLUSION
The goal of the site plan with minimization and mitigation measures is to help balance the environmental
consequences of this development by replacing the pond with a stream. Although it is a different form of
surface waters, it is expected that a viable stream habitat will.be created.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your
consideration.
Thank you for you consideration.

Dear Len:
We have examined the open fields along Baucom Rd., north of Mallard Creek Rd.
for the potential presence of Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), Georgia
aster (Aster georgianus), Heller's trefoil (Lotus helleri), Nestronia (Nestronia umbellula)
and the Tall larkspur (Delphinium exaltatum). The field work was performed on March
17. During the same week, the populations of Schweinitz's sunflower at Mountain Island
Dam and McCoy Rd. were checked as an indication of the recognizability of the old
sunflower stalks at this time of the year. Plants in both populations could be readily
identified based on leaves remaining on the stalks.
Most of the site is wooded, with some large trees, although the woodland has been
managed over the years. The fields occupy the east side of the site, near Baucom Rd.
There was no evidence of the sunflowers (H. schweinitzii) in the fields, along the edges of
the woods or along the fencerows. There were no short, woody colonies of plants with
opposite leaves in the woodlands that could be colonies of Nestronia (N. umbellula). The
density of growth of the grasses in the open fields would prevent the occurrences of Lotus
helleri, since it usually requires an area of past disturbance. There were no clasping-
leaved asters (A. georgianus) seen, although at this time of the year most of the leaves
have fallen. This is not the published habitat for the Tall larkspur (D. exaltatum).
Overall, the past management, now with overgrown pasture, has not developed the
type of habitat to support these species.
If you have any questions regarding this report, please do not hesitate to contact
us.
Sincerely,
a es F. Matthews
